Amazon.com Product Description
With a 2-1/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1250 watts of power, this full-sized microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. The unit's automatic 16-1/2-inch turntable ensures even heating, while its one-touch sensor cooking adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times automatically, making reheating and cooking a variety of foods easier than ever. A pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps food temperature at a constant level--without overcooking; the improved keep-warm menu now includes five items, so foods like stew, gravy, and desserts remain warm in the oven until they're ready to be served.

In addition, the microwave's menu-action screen adds to the overall convenience. It scrolls step-by-step cooking instructions across the display in English, Spanish, or French, while the function key simplifies the programming of 10 useful, non-cooking functions. Just press the function key and the menu-action screen will display the steps necessary to complete the desired function. Other highlights include Inverter Turbo Defrost for thorough defrosting, a push-button control panel, 10 power levels, five multi-stage cooking options, and more/less control, as well as a popcorn key, Quick Minute, delay start, a timer, and auto reheat. The microwave oven measures 19-7/16 by 23-7/8 by 14 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Disappointing. Would not recommend.
After several years of fantastic service, our GE microwave caught fire. (Upon further research we found we were lucky it had not done so sooner, but it cooked to perfection while it worked.) I read reviews for the Panasonic NN-H965WF 2.2 cu. ft. microwave and decided to purchase it. I was really looking forward to having a large oven. However, I have been very disappointed in its performance. First, it takes much longer to cook foods,or even heat water, for that matter, than any other microwave we have owned. Also, the auto popcorn setting either undercooks or burns the popcorn. The auto sensor cooking does a poor job. In short, I have used cheap microwaves of much less power in offices and other places that out perform this machine. Also, placing the glass plate correctly in position can take a bit of time. By "time" I mean seconds, but much longer than I have ever experienced with other machines and when one is trying to cook in a hurry, having to fuss with the plate is irritating. And speaking of time, the clock and other readings are not very clear. The background with the unlit portions of the digital read-out shows so brightly that there is not much contrast between it and the lit numbers. In short, I wish I had purchased a different microwave and would not recommend this one to a perspective buyer.

LOVE THIS MICROWAVE!!!!!!
I did quite a lot of research before purchasing a new microwave. I knew what I wanted as far as wattage, size, etc. I've had this one for ten months now and I still love it! Very spacious for large dishes, defrosts better than any I've had(doesn't "cook" the food). Haven't had one single problem. Would definitely recommend this item!

Outstanding, So Far
I have only owned this oven for a few days so it is probably too early to give a definitive review, especially since reviews of other Panasonic microwaves have indicated problems with some of them after a few weeks or months. Nonetheless, I am very pleased with my purchase so far, including the speed with which I received it (within a week of ordering). It is a big oven and does require more counter space but it is attractive-looking and the extra space is in the interior where you can cook almost anything of any size. It is not heavy and I can move it easily if necessary; it has great features--the sensor heating, the various options which let the machine do the thinking or let you do it if you prefer. It defrosts perfectly and cooks evenly; it is easy to use. I have not tried the popcorn option yet but expect it to be excellent. Because it is a big oven, it would probably be best to have it on it's own electric circuit, especially if you are likely to be using other appliances at the same time. I do not have a separate circuit and have had no problems so far, but I generally use it alone or with things like can openers that are not heavy electric drains. Overall, I am very happy with my choice.
